bogieman Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Has anyone had issues with their JTV69 frying boards? Twice now I've fried the main board. It's still under warrantee so it's getting fixed for free but I'm starting to question the reliability. I am using the ABS To power it up through the supplied1/4 cable. My technician insists there is nothing internal to the guitar that would cause this. The issue starts with what looks like an internal com issue where I can't access the guitar models or alt turnings until I play with the selector switch then they work as normal. Eventually I cannot turn off the guitar by pressing the model selector. To turn it off I unplug the cable. At that point it Will not turn back on. It's in the shop now so I wanted to ask if anyone has experienced this. If there's a hardware fix I want to let him know. I have a feeling that I'll just keep blowing through boards.

Charlie_Watt Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 My advice - use either the battery or the VDI interface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogieman Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 Don't you need a POD? I'm going straight into my Bogner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_Watt Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 For VDI you need a pod but the battery works fine and I would trust it far more than that external power supply and funky TRS cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psarkissian Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 That is the wrong supply to use. there is an XPS made specifically for that. There is info about that and other things in the Pilot's Handbook (owners manual). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogieman Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 I am using the Line6 Variax Cabled Power kit. It came with an XPS-AB, a PSU and a Planet Waves TRS cable. The Pilot's Handbook calls for the XPS-DI which was discontinued years ago. I discussed my set up with the Line 6 Technician the first time the electronics crapped out including the XPS-AB and he didn't identify it as a problem. Is the XPS-AB A problem or not?

psarkissian Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Going into which Bogner, a Bogner/Bogner or a Line 6 Bogner? Which input of the amp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psarkissian Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Have the service center contact Line 6 Customer Support, so we can get a better evaluate the failure, and advise further if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogieman Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 Line 6 spider Valve MKII Bogner. Only has 1 input. Controlling using an FBV MKII Shortboard Will do. The last thing I want is for it to fail again. Thanks everyone for your input. I will let you know how it goes and if there are any specific causative factors.
